Description

Nach den Unterlagen S. 1-3, besteht die auf S. 2 dar­ gestellte Meßeinrichtung aus einem feststehenden Gehäuse (6) in dem eine bewegliche Platte untergebracht ist (5), die mit einem Handgriff (1) in Bewegungsrichtung verschoben werden kann.According to the documents p. 1-3, the measuring device shown on p. 2 consists of a fixed housing ( 6 ) in which a movable plate is accommodated ( 5 ), which can be moved in the direction of movement with a handle ( 1 ).

Auf der Platte (5) sind gemäß S. 3 (Schnitt A-A) die Sensorstifte (4) beweglich über eine Druckfeder (3) angeordnet. Das Gegenlager (8) der Feder ist eine druckempfindliche Meßzelle (z. B. Piezoquarz), die mit dem Kabel (7) und dem Interface (2) in Verbindung steht. Das Interface (2) setzt die Drucksignale in übertragbare Daten um, die von dem Computer und einer entsprechenden Software ausgewertet werden und auf dem Bildschirm und dem Drucker zur Darstellung kommen.According to page 3 (section AA), the sensor pins ( 4 ) are movably arranged on the plate ( 5 ) via a compression spring ( 3 ). The counter bearing ( 8 ) of the spring is a pressure-sensitive measuring cell (e.g. piezo quartz), which is connected to the cable ( 7 ) and the interface ( 2 ). The interface ( 2 ) converts the pressure signals into transferable data, which are evaluated by the computer and corresponding software and displayed on the screen and the printer.

Der mit der Erfindung erzielte Vorteil besteht im wesentlichen darin, daß eine objektive, reproduzierbare und auswertbare Diagnose­ findung von Strukturveränderungen z. B. im Bereich der weiblichen Brust, hier Krebsknoten u. a. prämaligne Adenome, möglich wird, die bisher durch die tastende Hand des untersuchenden Arztes nur in un­ vollständiger und unzureichender Weise möglich war. Hierdurch ist eine technische Einrichtung geschaffen, die eine Früherkennung von gut -bösartigen Tumorformen der Mamma zuläßt und insbesondere auch Aussagen über ein differentialdiagnostisches Vorgehen erlaubt.The advantage achieved with the invention is essentially in that an objective, reproducible and evaluable diagnosis finding structural changes z. B. in the field of female Breast, here cancerous knot u. a. premalignant adenomas, which is possible hitherto only by touching the examining doctor in un was completely and inadequately possible. This creates a technical facility that a Allows early detection of well-malignant forms of the breast and especially statements about a differential diagnosis Action allowed.

Die Indikationsgebiete sind außer den erwähnten, auch Schilddrüsen­ veränderungen, Kniegelenkzysten, Abdruckverfahren bei statischen Fußveränderungen, Druckmessungen bei Durchblutungsstörungen im Bereich der Gefäße, intraoperative Kreislaufgradientenbe­ stimmung z. B. im Carotisbereich u. a.In addition to the mentioned, the indication areas are also thyroid glands changes, knee joint cysts, impression procedures with static Foot changes, pressure measurements in the case of circulatory disorders in the area of the vessels, intraoperative circulatory gradient mood z. B. in the carotid area u. a.
